Bongwater said:In KWLE's defense, I will say for whatever the format is today (a sort of alt-JACK-FM) it sure beats the canned satellite stuff.
The REAL problem with AM has never really been in fidelity - although KWLE's AM signal fidelity does have room for improvement, but how it's programmed.......
KJET (the 1590 kHz station in Seattle. not the Aberdeen oldies station - sorry Wolf)
Canned jukebox vs. "canned satellite"? The music is all canned. Most satellite formats are live.
Fidelity is one of AM's problems. Electrical noise is another, and nighttime skywave interference is another. AM cannot have as good distortion and frequency response as FM.
And finally, KJET is not an oldies station; it's Hot AC... and was just voted Best Radio Station in Twin Harbors.
